Kingdom Hearts – 06 Kairi – Andante sostenuto (2nd Mov.)

Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections

I can’t quite figure out the tempo selection on this piece. The music indicates 66, which feels rather fast. Most videos I could find on YouTube play this much slower. I am close to 66, but still slightly…

Kingdom Hearts – 05 Sora – Allegro con brio (1st Mov.)

Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections

Sora is the opening for the Kingdom Hearts Sonata. The Sonata itself is well structured, it is as classical as it gets, quite unusual for game music. After recording the Final Fantasy XV album, it’s no surprise that…

Kingdom Hearts – 04 Missing You ~ Namine

Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections

Missing You is one of those slow yet powerful pieces. In both Kingdom Hearts and FFXV, Yoko and the piano arranger put in so much power in these slow pieces they are just as fun to play as…

Hand In Hand is the first non-Final-Fantasy piece to make it to my Personal Favorites playlist, and it’s the very first one I recorded from this album. I listened to the in-game music and wondered how come nobody…

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle

Sinister Sundown has a lot of scale runs that play like Hand In Hand. Once you get a hang of it, this piece is not too bad to learn. I recorded this on the 3rd day of learning.…

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle – 03 Wonderland’s Surprises

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle

This piece is rightly named Wonderland’s Surprises. It has a pretty cute beginning, and a beautiful section in the middle, and a surprise run in minor a bit after that. I like this piece a lot because throughout…

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle – 04 Lazy Afternoons

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle

This is the easiest piece in this album. I kinda skipped the learning part and got straight to recording. I was surprised it took me a few hours to finally get a clean recording. It is very beautiful…

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle – 05 Night of Fate

Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle

This is one of the easier battle songs. But be aware, when you “learn” or practice this over and over, that banging at the beginning can drive you crazy. I was deeply annoyed by myself through the learning…
